Yeasayer
When this song from Brooklyn group Yeasayer first burst through my headphones, it near blew my mind. Literally. Every brain cell, every sensory mechanism was set to overdrive as the lush harmonies soaked deeper and deeper. This, my friends, is the future of rock and roll. And we can say we were there at the birth of it.
Listen to Yeasayer’s, 2080.

We’ve all seen those iconic Jesus Christ, Osama Bin Laden, Queen Elizabeth II and the suicide bomber CUPCO dolls floating around the world. Now Western Australia’s ingenious artist Luke Temby, aka CUPCO, has invited 100 international artists to showcase their own creative interpretation of CUPCO dolls here in Australia. The doll exhibition will open at the Damien Minton Gallery in Redfern, Sydney on December 16 and carry on until December 22. All 100 dolls will be on sale and the proceeds will help out our Congolese sisters and children affected by war. If you can’t hold out until the party launch, check out the dolls on Temby’s FlickR page.
The indie, electronic pop duo Plastic Operator paired up whilst studying audio production at London’s Westminster University. In 2004, they released their first three track EP. Their music reminds me of bands like The Fashion, Crystal Castles and Cut Copy.

I’ve been reading Julia Wertz’s web comic, The Fart Party, which is simply a first person account of her every day life. The artwork is pretty rudimentary, but that works to the comic’s advantage, making it rather accessible and earnest seeming. Updated every few days, it’s not hard to keep up, and you never have to wait long to get your next fix.

SO glad I found your sight.
I’m a 38 mom who USED to be “oh, so artistic”. Moved to palm springs with my 14 month old and my wonderful husband only to wake up from a long slumber to realize I’m dying inside from a lack of artistic expression and connection. Thank you for re-connecting me to the world outside…I actually think it might be ok to come out again. please keep up your work. What fun it will be to have new music and passion to fuel my heart and head.
